Jackson Park was recently acquired and early plans are being made to create access with parking along Meadowbrook Road. This park ads to the Township's green space. In 2003, Montgomery County voters voiced their support for a new county Open Space Program by approving a $150 million program called Green Fields-Green Towns. This money is earmarked to natural and water resource areas offering towns and boroughs options for "re-greening" their communities, and preserving open space and farmland over the next ten years.
